Or not, well perhaps a tiny little bit of fame. Recently two of my images were chosen to be used on other websites.
One is a UK based support site for the national schools network, they used my image of a Lancaster Bomber dropping 1 million poppies on a blog entry about the VE and VJ day celebrations in London.
The other is by The Digital Photography Weblog who chose my image of some deck chairs as their Digital Photo of the Day for 17th August 2005
Both were very kind to let me know they were using my image and gave due credit, exactly as required by the Creative Commons license I put my content under.
I have had a number of cases in the past where my images were just blatantly stolen and people claiming they took them, or worse even direct linking to them on my server. A bit of mod_rewrite magic replacing those images for visitors to their sites usually do the trick nicely for getting them removed, but I do wish I don’t have to resort to this kind of thing. Kudos to the above sites for doing things right.
NOTE: This is a static archive of an old blog, no interactions like search or categories are current.
